From memory. The VT102 is a VT100 with Advanced Video Options. AVO gave 132
columns by 24 line support (instead of 132 by 12), both underline and reverse
highliting, and maybe more. I can't remember if the printer port was an
option on the VT100. The idea was to sell a terminal that had more options
built in but wasn't expandable. Anyone remember the VT180? They should use
the same ANSI codes.
Again, this is from my memory. Personaly I put more faith in the
documentation Hiram found.
